NRCC Announces Caroleene Dobson in First Round of Additions to 2024 Young Guns Program

July 29, 2024

The National Republican Congressional Committee today announced Caroleene Dobson is on the initial list of 26 candidates for the 2024 Young Guns program.

“Extreme House Democrats like Shomari Figures have fueled the border, crime and cost of living crises that are wreaking havoc on Alabamans’ safety and security. Caroleene Dobson is in a prime position to keep Alabama’s 2nd District red and help grow our House majority in November.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
